AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballBy ZEKE MILLER, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team on Tuesday signed an agreement to allow the Justice Department to conduct background checks on his nominees and appointees after a weeks-long delay. The step lets Trump transition aides and future administration staffers obtain security clearances before Inauguration Day to access classified information about ongoing government programs, an essential step for a smooth transiton of power. It also allows those nominees who are up for Senate confirmation to face the background checks lawmakers want before voting on them. Teams of investigators have been standing by to process clearances for Trump aides and advisers. “This agreement with the Department of Justice will ensure President Trump and his team are ready on Day 1 to begin enacting the America First Agenda that an overwhelming majority of our nation supported on Election Day,” said Susie Wiles, Trump’s designate to be White House chief of staff. Related Articles The announcement comes a week after the Trump transition team signed an agreement with the Biden White House to allow transition staff to coordinate with the existing federal workforce before taking office on Jan. 20. The White House agreement was supposed to have been signed by Oct. 1, according to the Presidential Transition Act, and the Biden White House had issued both public and private appeals for Trump’s team to sign on. Security clearances are required to access classified information, including on ongoing operations and threats to the nation, and the Biden White House and outside experts have emphasized to Trump’s team the importance of having cleared personnel before Inauguration Day so they could be fully briefed and ready to run the government. Republican Senators have also insisted on FBI background checks for Trump’s nominees before they face confirmation votes, as has been standard practice for decades. Lawmakers have been particularly interested in seeing the findings of reviews into Trump’s designated nominee for defense secretary, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, and for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to be director of national intelligence. “That’s why it’s so important that we have an FBI background check, a committee review of extensive questions and questionnaires, and a public hearing,” said. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine on Monday. John Thune, the incoming Senate Republican leader, said the Trump team “understands there’s going to have to be a thorough vetting of all these nominees.” AP congressional correspondent Lisa Mascaro contributed.

At stake for the 60-player field is a $4 million prize to the winner, the largest single-day payoff in women's golf. Nelly Korda already has won more than that during her sterling season of seven wins. Now she faces an eight-shot deficit over the next three days at Tiburon Golf Club if she wants to end her year in fitting fashion. Korda, coming off a victory last week, couldn't make amends for her three bogeys and had to settle for an even-par 72. She has come from behind in four of her victories, and still has 54 holes ahead of her. But it has made the task that much tougher. Everything felt easy for An, a 28-year-old from South Korea who has never won on the LPGA and has never cracked the top 10 in any of the 16 majors she has played. “Today my putt really good,” An said. “The speed was good and the shape was good. I just try to focus a little bit more.” She had a one-shot lead over Angel Yin, who shot 30 on the back nine, including an eagle on the par-5 17th hole that most players can easily reach in two. Former U.S. Women's Open champion Allisen Corpuz and Marina Alex were at 66, with Lydia Ko leading the group at 67. Despite the wind so typical along the Gulf Coast of Florida, 27 players — nearly half the field — shot in the 60s. “It's a good head start for the big ol' prize we get at the end of the week,” Yin said. Whoever wins this week is assured of breaking the 17-year-old LPGA record for most money earned in season. The record was set by Lorena Ochoa in 2007 at $4,364,994, back when the total prize money was about half of what it is now. Ochoa earned $1 million for winning the Tour Championship in 2007. The opening round followed a big night of awards for the LPGA Tour, where Korda officially picked up her first award as player of the year, which she clinched earlier this month . Ko was recognized for her big year, highlighted by an Olympic gold medal that put her into the LPGA Hall of Fame. She regained plenty of focus for the opening round on a course where she won just two years ago. “The course isn't easy,” Ko said. “I set a goal of shooting 3 under today, and somebody shot 8 under. I was like, ‘OK, maybe I need to make a few more birdies.’ It's a course that can get away from you as much as you can shoot some low scores, so I’m just trying to stick to my game plan and go from there.” Also in the group at 67 was Albane Valenzuela of Switzerland, already celebrating a big year with her debut in the Solheim Cup and her first appearance in the Tour Championship. She made a late run at her first LPGA title last week at Pelican Golf Club, and kept up her form. And she can see the finish line, which is appealing. “I everyone is looking at that $4 million price tag,” Valenzuela said. “I try not to look too much at the result. I feel like in the past I’ve always been stuck on results, and ultimately all I can do is control my own round, my own energy, my own commitment. “It's the last week of the year. It’s kind of the bonus week. No matter what, everyone is having a paycheck.” AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golfDaily Post Nigeria Bundesliga: Boniface faces sanction for reckless driving Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sport Bundesliga: Boniface faces sanction for reckless driving Published on November 30, 2024 By Mike Oyebola Bayer Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso is expected to sanction forward Victor Boniface for reckless driving.

Ellington Credit (NYSE:EARN) Declares Monthly Dividend of $0.08Nvidia’s innovative strategies are paying off even amidst U.S. restrictions on GPU exports to China. While unable to sell its top-tier offerings like the Hopper H100 series directly, Nvidia has introduced a modified solution: the HGX H20. This cut-down version has outperformed expectations in the Chinese market. Despite reduced specs, the HGX H20’s sales have surged dramatically, marking a significant victory for Nvidia. Industry analyst Claus Aasholm highlights this remarkable success, noting a 50% quarterly growth, making it Nvidia’s most profitable product currently. In contrast, Nvidia’s full-spectrum H100 series saw a 25% growth rate. The shifting landscape of artificial intelligence technology showcases the global thirst for advanced computing power. While the U.S. naturally progresses with an abundance of resources—entities like OpenAI are in relentless pursuit of more power and hardware to dominate AI development. In China, the quest for AI supremacy isn’t lagging. A recent breakthrough by Chinese AI company Deepseek demonstrates this ambition. They utilized a network of 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs to train a massive language model with 671 billion parameters, completing the task in two months with 2.8 million GPU hours invested. As China continues expanding its AI capabilities despite export limitations, future competition from emerging local tech companies could eventually challenge Nvidia’s market dominance. But for now, Nvidia’s strategic adaptations, like the HGX H20, affirm its stronghold. Nvidia’s Success Story: How Their Strategic Adaptations Are Beating Export Challenges Nvidia’s Strategic Adaptations in a Challenging Market Nvidia, an industry leader in GPU technology, finds itself at a unique crossroads. Despite stringent U.S. restrictions on exporting top-tier GPUs to China, Nvidia’s tactical innovation shines through. While the premium Hopper H100 series remains inaccessible to the Chinese market, Nvidia has cleverly introduced the HGX H20—a strategically modified version designed to bypass these limitations. Breaking Down the HGX H20’s Market Performance The HGX H20, though a toned-down variation, has defied expectations and achieved remarkable success in the Chinese market. Its impressive 50% quarterly growth, as noted by industry analyst Claus Aasholm, outstrips the performance of Nvidia’s full-spectrum H100 series, which saw a 25% growth rate. This success demonstrates Nvidia’s ability to adapt and thrive under restrictive conditions, maintaining its profitability and market leadership. Global AI Expansion Sparks Demand for Advanced Computing The global landscape of artificial intelligence continues to evolve, with countries racing to harness advanced computing power. In the United States, companies like OpenAI are pushing the boundaries of AI development with substantial resources at their disposal. Conversely, China has made significant strides in AI technology, exemplified by Deepseek’s remarkable achievement. Utilizing 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs, Deepseek trained an ambitious language model with 671 billion parameters in just two months, allocating 2.8 million GPU hours to this task. Future Prospects and Market Challenges While China’s AI capabilities continue to grow, Nvidia remains at the forefront, thanks to its strategic approach with products like the HGX H20. However, as Chinese tech firms continue to evolve, Nvidia may face increasing competition in the future. The challenge will be to uphold its market dominance amid a dynamic and competitive environment. For more insights on Nvidia’s innovative strategies and market performance, visit Nvidia .

NoneWhen Tommy DeVito was elevated to QB1 for the Giants last year, he sparked a three-game win streak and brought levity to a desolate team. In late November 2024, DeVito is once again New York’s starter, but the misery continues. BUY GIANTS TICKETS: STUBHUB , VIVID SEATS , TICKETMASTER Last week, the Giants benched Daniel Jones and announced that DeVito would be their Week 12 starter over Drew Lock — the $5 million guy that they signed to be their backup this season. DeVito, the undrafted free agent who got six starts last year, went 21-of-31 for 189 yards and no touchdowns in the 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. Tampa Bay linebacker Lavonte David said he was “definitely surprised” to learn that the Giants were going with DeVito over Lock. “Drew Lock is a veteran quarterback in this league, but at the same time you’ve got to give Tommy DeVito his respect,” David said. “He came in last year, he lit a spark for the team and stuff like that. So, I guess they’re expecting the same thing and he’s a guy who knows the system and stuff like that. So, you know, they’ll figure it out.” Lock was also puzzled by the decision. Why was he the Giants’ backup this whole season if DeVito was ultimately going to be the one promoted? “That’s a question I might still have for myself,” Lock said to reporters last week. “It was expressed to me that I was going to be the two. It’s an interesting situation.” David said that the defense did change their approach for Sunday after learning that DeVito would be the starter. “They do different things with Tommy DeVito,” he said. “He’s an athletic quarterback, an athletic guy. He could hurt you both ways, throwing the passes, so we had to have a heads up for both.” Lock did enter the game for just one snap after DeVito left for the sideline with an injury in the fourth quarter. But DeVito returned after Lock completed a three-yard pass to finish out the dismal game. After Sunday’s loss, Brian Daboll said that DeVito will be the starter for Thursday’s Thanksgiving game against the Cowboys. The Giants will head to Dallas with a 2-9 record, looking forward to selecting their quarterback of the future high in next year’s draft.

Falcons feeling the pressure at .500 as Cousins' interceptions put spotlight on downturn for offenseHowever, the N-Dubz star has since left the jungle following a public vote but viewers of the show are shocked at her actions since. Before heading into the Australian jungle, celebrities often share pictures of themselves in their camp uniforms and the ITV show also shares videos and images of them while they’re in there which they share to their own personal accounts. However, viewers noticed the lack of Instagram posts about Tulisa’s time in the jungle following her exit. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans of the show noticed the singer has deleted her posts about the ITV show and her involvement. After leaving the show, Tulisa would’ve been given her phone back so it’s likely she deleted the posts herself. One viewer said: “Why has Tulisa deleted everything from her socials in relation to #ImACeleb”. (function (d, s, n) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; js = d.createElement(s); js.className = n; js.src = "//player.ex.co/player/2f5c6247-a6df-4753-aa85-a602dd967f57"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); js.setAttribute('programmatic', 'true'); js.onload = function () { const playerApi237931 = ExCoPlayer.connect('2f5c6247-a6df-4753-aa85-a602dd967f57'); playerApi237931.init({ "autoPlay": false, "mute": true, "showAds": true, "playbackMode": "play-in-view", "content": { "playFirst": [ { "title": "How much is Ant and Dec's net worth?", "src": "https://large-cdn.ex.co/transformations/production/3dac3c05-257d-45d2-b760-c1524f8b72f3/720p.mp4" } ], "playlistId": "649d69cd79e0a90012b5b8bc" }, "sticky": { "mode": "persistent", "closeButton": true, "pauseOnClose": true, "desktop": { "enabled": false, "position": "bottom-right" }, "mobile": { "enabled": false, "position": "upper-small" } }}); }; }(document, 'script', 'exco-player')); Another commented: “Why has Tulisa deleted all traces of I’m a celeb off her socials?” A third called the singer out, saying: “So grateful you delete all trace of I’m a Celeb on your Instagram ey Tulisa?” After public votes, three celebrities have been eliminated from the ITV show so far. Loose Women star Jane Moore was the first to leave while Dean McCullough, a BBC Radio 1 presenter, was the second to be reunited with loved ones. Recommended reading: N-Dubz star Tulisa was the third to leave the jungle and said: “It is tough in there, leaving is still a happy thing.” Speaking about her I'm A Celebrity experience, she added: “I just think you're more grateful for everything, the food you eat, being around the people you love, the home comforts, just makes you very appreciative of life.” Tonight (December 3), another celebrity will leave the jungle.
